    Vic, yes everything is on and double and triple checked to make sure I went missing something stupid (which I have been know to do at times :) ).

    Thanks Stan. Yeah no light when not on shore power; light on with shore power. I have the two 12V batteries set up. I have a 2019 hawk, actually purchased through you, Thanks for the help. I guess I just need to start checking wires and see where the things might have gone wrong.
